    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS FLEMMING, ARTHUR S.: PAPERS, 1939-1996 Accession: 86-18, 97-7, 97-7/1, 99-3 Processed by: DES Date Completed: 2005 On October 23, 1985 Arthur S. Flemming executed an instrument of gift for these papers. Linear feet: 128.8 Approximate number of pages: 254,400 Approximate number of items: Unknown Literary rights in the unpublished papers of Arthur S. Flemming have been transferred to the people of the United States. By agreement with the donor the following classes of documents will be withheld from research use: 1. Papers and other historical material the disclosure of which would constitute an invasion of personal privacy or a libel of a living person. 2. Papers and other historical materials that are specifically authorized under criteria established by statute or Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy, and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such statute or Executive Order. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Papers of Arthur S. Flemming were deposited with the Eisenhower Library in two major accessions. The first and largest accession arrived in 1986 and contained materials from Flemming’s early civil service career through the mid-1970s. The second accession arrived in late 1996. It more or less takes up where the first accession leaves off but there are a couple exceptions that must be noted. The second accession contains a few files from the early 1960s, which were probably held back at the time of the first shipment because they were still relevant to Flemming’s activities at the time, namely files related to aging.

    Legislative Limelight: Investigations by the United States Congress by John Ignatius Hanley A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Eric Schickler, Chair Professor Robert Van Houweling Professor Anne Joseph O’Connell Fall 2012 Legislative Limelight: Investigations by the United States Congress © 2012 By John Ignatius Hanley Abstract Legislative Limelight: Investigations by the United States Congress by John Ignatius Hanley Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair Academic studies have often emphasized the law-making aspects of Congress to the exclusion of examining how Congress uses its investigative power. This is despite the fact that Congress possesses great power to compel testimony and documents from public and private persons alike, and that exercises of the investigative power are among the most notable public images of Congress. While several recent studies have considered investigations in the context of relations between the executive and legislative branches, far less effort has been committed to looking at how much Congress uses coercive investigative power to gather information on non- governmental actors. I develop several new datasets to examine the historical and recent use of investigations of both governmental and non-governmental institutions. A major component of this work is a comprehensive study of all authorizations of subpoena power granted to committees over the period 1792-1944. I find that for both Executive and outside subjects, divided control of government was positively associated with the volume of investigations in the House, but not in the Senate.

As Wisconsin soldiers demobilized, policymakers reevaluated the meaning of wartime service—and fiercely debated how the state should recognize veterans’ sacrifices.

BY JILLIAN SLAIGHT he Great War seemed strangely distant to Ira Lee Peterson, even as his unit camped mere miles from the front lines in France. Between drills and marches, the twenty-two-year-old Wisconsinite swam in streams, wrote letters home, and slept underneath the stars in apple orchards. TEven in the trenches, the morning of Sunday, June 16, 1918, was “so quiet . that all one could hear was the rats running around bumping into cans and wire.” Peterson sat reading a book until a “whizzing sound” cut through the silence, announcing a bombardment that sent him and his comrades scurrying “quick as gophers” into their dugout.1 After this “baptism with shell fire,” Peterson suffered a succession of horrors: mustard gas inhalation, shrapnel wounds, and a German 283 | Wisconsin Blue Book 2019–2020 COURTESY LINDA PALMER PALMER LINDA COURTESY WILLIAM WESSA, LANGLADE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY HISTORICAL COUNTY LANGLADE WESSA, WILLIAM Before 1914, faith in scientific progress led people to believe that twentieth-century war would be less brutal.
